It was a very surreal experience. I was on summer camp at RAF lynham at the time and the US special forces were there in their black AC-130 on route to Iraq (1st gulf war)
They were some very serious looking men.

That's a great story. We were also ambushed and actually physically attacked by a rival ATC squadron.
I just download the AC-130 Spectre app. It's like a dumbed down version of the MW mission 'Death from Above'
